ADVERTISING DEVICE.

Application filed December 16, 1922. Serial No. 607,435.

T all whom it may concern:

Be it known that T, CLIFFORD BURCH :KIRKPATRICK, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Wichita Falls, in the county of \Vichita and Stateof Texas, have invented a new and useful Advertising Device, of whichthe following is a specification.

The invention relates to an advertisin device, comprising a memorandumpad ho Lder which may be constructed of cardboard or metal, having apencil holder arranged thereon and being designed with a clamp that willpermit the same to be attached to most any object, such as an instrumentr board on an automobile or the clamp may be arranged to attach the sameto a telephone, or the clamp may be omitted from the device, thusproviding a pad holder to set on a desk or other flat surface.

Another object of the invention is to provide a device of this naturewhich is very simple and practical and can be manufactured and sold at avery nominal cost.

The nature and advantages of the device will be better understood whenthe follow ing detailed description is read in connection. with theaccompanying drawings. The invention residing in the construction, com.-bination and arrangement of parts as claimed. 1

In the drawing forming a part of this application the various parts willbe re ferred to by numbers. And, whereas,

Figure 1 is a side view showing the gen eral assembly.

Figure 2 is a front plan view.

Figure 3 is a view sectioned at the line A to A.

The device forming the subject matter of this invention comprises onepiece of metal of suitable dimensions, stamped and bent as desired, toform the device as illustrated. 1 is the base. 2 and 3 are clampingjaws. i is a machine screw. 5 is a wing nut, thread ed on said machinescrew 4: for the purpose of operating the clamping jaws 2 and 3. 6 isthe pad holder. 7 and 8 are clamps forming a part of the springs 9 and10 for the purpose of holding the memorandum pad in place. The littleclips 11 are for the purpose of holding advertising matter to the padholder 6. A. piece of celluloid may be placed over the advertisingmatter to prevent the same from. becoming soiled, and

the celluloid arranged under the clips 11, so as to be removedwhendesired. 12 is a pencil holder, comprising two flanges at right angleswith the pad holder 6, having holes of suitable size for a pencilarranged therein. 18 is a brace riveted to the base 1 and extendingtherefrom to the pad holder 6.

It will thus be noted that the entire device is constructed with onlyfour parts, it being observed that the base 1, the clamping jaws 2 and3, the pad holder 6 and the brace 13 are one continuous piece of metal.It will also be noted that the springs, clamps, flanges and clips whichare arranged thereon form a part thereof which renders it possible tomanufacture this device at a very nominal cost.
